the pearl john steinbeck

i cannot BELIEVE this book is so short but so impactful. it took me months to read even though it is soo short because it was so brutal. such a good read that covers so many themes and social dynamics with so few words.

MY BROTHER MADE ME READ VONNEGUT AND NOW I SAY “SO IT GOES” ALL THE TIME

when anxiety doesn’t let me move forward, so it goes. let go of the things i cannot change, so it goes. it’s not even remotely the point of slaughterhouse five but it does help. he also got me to say “maximum effort” when he was like 13 and i was 8 and now i sound like a deadpool glazer every time i try to be brave

PATREON (AND SUBSTACK)

replacing scrolling social media with the direct feed of creatives i actually like and want to keep up with — even the ones i just have free subs to — was genuinely so much healthier for me. you can also change the icon for patreon which is so adorable and i wish every app did it

LISTENING TO THE MUSIC I LIKED WHEN I WAS TWELVE

paramore was the soundtrack to my first crush and hayley williams was like my big sister. and i think that’s taste.
